Are you completely stock (never flash anything and never root) or you root the phone and later unroot it? If you have a stock rom without any modification you have just to wait the official OTA if not the link have all information that you need to obtain a complete stock 4.1.2, in it you can find official google rom.
Yes i am completely stock.So currently which are the countries recieving the update?Any clue on how much ae we gonna wait?
ps.i am in india.

If you are completely stock you have only to wait, at the moment nobody have received OTA on Nexus S and nobody know when it will arrive but we can assume that we have to wait only some days...

There is a way to manually update without root and unlock, you have to download your version of OTA from the thread that I suggested you and you have to learn to use adb commands. I personally tested this method on my device and it work.
You have to find a guide to install Android SDK on your PC and to learn how send adb command with android sdk (you have to open DOS command prompt and go to directory where you have installed android sdk to the folder adb...).
With this correctly installed, without any root and unlock, with some terminal commands you can manually update your device, at the end it will be completely stock without ony modifications.
After you have installed android sdk, procedure to update is this:
Connect your phone to your PC.
Reboot your device in recovery mode so power off nexus, power on by pressing both power+volume up, select recovery with volume keys and push power to confirm. And android with red triangle appear, push power and volume up to enter in recovery mode.
Select "Apply update from ADB".
On your PC copy the OTA from downloaded from the other thread in the folder with the ADB binary (adb.exe) in your SDK installation and rename the OTA as update.zip (not necessary but in this way is more easy).
On your PC open command prompt and go to folder with the ADB binary.
On your PC command prompt write "adb devices" to see if your nexus is correctly connected (have to appear a long serial number)
If yes, write this command: "adb sideload update.zip"
At the end reboot and you have a completely stock updatewithout modifications.

A second method that I read is to try to delete your google account and later insert it again and wait sync. I didn't try this, I prefer to learn how to use adb...
Thanks for helpin me out.i cleared data 2 - 3 times before i got the update again.It took me all day to download 15 mb though even after having a hi speed connection.
Thanks for the adb tip.

No problem, for me data clearing didn't worked this time, I didn't want to wait anymore so I decide to use adb!

Hmmm, sorry but I'm confused. If you're on cm and you can open recovery I can only think you are still rooted (check this with root checker app) so not sure why you think you need to root. I see you tried to restore, what to? I can only suggest flashing back to a stock rom and then do the rooting process again.

Hello,
The rooting process was very simple and smooth, I rooted the device because I wanted to try different fonts, everything was succesfful, no issues. Since I don't have much knowledge about "Your phone's life after rooting", I would like to ask you . .

I'll be getting the notification of "Android L is avalible, tap to download and install". . . will everything go fine If I just tap and update my Nexus 5 to Android L via OTA, Do I need to unroot the device first and then upgrade it to Android L ?
Nothing should go wrong if I update it officialy via OTA, right ?
I don't care if my root access goes after updating, so it's ok for me.
Thank you

This is all covered in sticky threads. Read OTA Help-Desk which you can get to via my signature.
However I would recommend learning more about being rooted and not taking OTA's at all, as that's super-noob

If you've changed any of the system files the OTA will fail. You can have root and apply an OTA as that's not checked when doing the update but anything will have to be reverted to stock before the OTA will apply successfully

Assuming everything else is untouched, yes it should work...
If you're going to live in the rooted world, you should learn to do things properly. OTA is the worst way of managing a rooted phone, which is why I said OTA is super-noob. If someone is reliant on OTA updates, they probably should not be rooted in the first place.

You just need to learn before jumping in. Root should not be taken lightly. If you're not willing to learn, don't root. If you are - then do. The problem is if you root then dont do things properly, you cause more work for eveyone here who has to try and help you when things go wrong, so either:
1) Learn
2) Unroot
3) Don't expect help
I recommend 1.

I have an unlocked and rooted Nexus 5 on 4.4.4 KTU84P running a stock image that was updated OTA.
I've been getting the OTA update all day but it keeps failing to install. The error says there is an issue with the file in the /cache/ folder. I've been able to update OTA in the past until this version.
I wouldn't mind just using Nexus Root Toolkit to update but to do that don't I have to unroot and wipe the device? I just want to update without wiping the device.
Is it possible?

The tool kit will probably return you to stock and wipe your device. Skip the tool kit. Just flash the stock recovery in fastboot. If you don't know how see @rootSU's sticky in the general forum

Hmmm. So what can you do
i. If the update comes, you select the later option, or
ii. Root your phone or unlock your bootloader. This will void your Guarantee and support from Google.
